EI Question ( switching therapists)

DD has been getting speech and special ed 2x a week each. We got the results of her 3 month evaluation and they contradicted each other completely. Speech said shes saying new words consistently, pointing to pictures, body parts, makes eye contact and is more focused. Special ed said she doesnt point to anything, doesnt say many new words, doesnt make eyecontact and has tantrums. I see all DD can do and all the progress she has made. I'm even filming it. Her sessions with speech are great but special ed always ends early because DD gets frustrated. My DH and I are considering a new spec. ed therapist. She is very good at what she does but they just dont seem to connect and I feel like DD is losing precious time with those sessions.

If your child had EI and you decided to switch therapists why did you do it and how did it work out?

Re: EI Question ( switching therapists)

I did not like the OT because of a few reasons. I just called EI to handle it. We have someone else now. DS loves her.

I would switch. DS still does not connect with 1 therapist at this point after 9months. I am tired of it.

DC has to connect to make it usefull.
